good luck with new wheel! My fanatec Turbo S gives signs of death as well. It actually was repaired once but still gets disconnected once in a while from xbox. I am nore ready

to give up on it  though.

How long have you had the wheel and what model is it. I've been using my MC2 for about a year now and have had only one problem with it. The left shifter paddle stopped working, but they warrentied it and I got a new one. What is the issue with your wheel?

Yup i actually hoped he would survive till the next month so i could overleap it wth the CSR wheel. 

Warrenty just passed last month *sucks* Was cleaning and had it on my desk. my mom passed by and tripped over the pedal wire lol 

Still wondering how she managed to do that. Anyway had it for quite some time and its the one without FFB 

BUT as knight said...gives me a good reason to by my long desired fanatec. 

 

Just wanna know the cons of the fanatec CSR wheel...IF there are any

Hmm....well there is the headst issue but you don't talk much anyway.  The set up can be daunting so many programable features but that is not really a con. Some folk complain about the rim, but I don't really mind it. Firmware can be a headache but I and others here can solve almost any issue there.It takes a while to get it how you like it, and each game you play may want a different set up, I am up to four now, but once again not really a con... Unless you start a race with the wrong set up, something I am always doing. LOL

hahaha yeah you can mix the set ups up. So highly programmable. thats not a con indeed since madcatz didnt have anything to program. And it was also a wheel that i got because i wanna try how things go with the wheel since i had many in the past and for some reason never liked it. The headset thing..i do talk a lot with people...but when i race with you all its usually very late and everybody is asleep here...or you just cant hear me cuz my xbox headsets are crappy and my good one need to be fixed. 

 

i heard that CSR wheel they often find it cheap looking because of the plastic on the rim part. The value pack got the Elite pedals they dont have issues? since i heard that the club pedals can give problems
